	THE CORNUCOPIAN FALLACIES
		The cornucopians say that population growth is good, not bad (Julian Simon), or that it will solve itself (Herman Kahn), that shortages are mythical or can be made good by technology and substitution, and generally that we can expect a glorious future.
		One could hardly object to having a couple of cornucopians urging people to be of good cheer and stout heart, were it not for the danger that may convince some citizens and policy makers not to worry about some pressing problems that urgently need attention.
		The technological growth on which the cornucopians pin their hopes is itself part of that change, as are the population growth and the environmental by-products of technological growth that concern the environmentalists.

	Cornucopian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most outspoken proponent of cornucopianism was Julian Simon, who made such remarkable claims as, "The supply of natural resources is really infinite!", "Population density does not damage health or psychological and social well-being" and "In the end, copper and oil come out of our minds.
		In the Peak Oil debate, cornucopians refuse to acknowledge that petroleum as a natural resource could ever grow scarce or that production could decline, some going so far as to espouse the abiotic oil theory, which claims fossil fuels are created naturally deep in the ground without the presence of biological material.
		The term 'cornucopian' is sometimes used derogatorily by those who oppose unbridled optimism and the belief that technology can solve all the world's problems.

		Cornucopian is a term that describes an individual or an ideology that is based upon an optimistic belief in human progress, technology, and limitless expansion of achievement.
		Though many Cornucopians focus on a specific subject of study and improvement, Cornucopian traits can be seen in all issues.
		For example, environmental Cornucopianism would state that humans will not be hindered in the long run by environmental constraints through technological innovation.

		Cornucopians view PO as a collection of separate problems with weak or non-existent inter-linkage.
		Cornucopian's solutions are often flawed in a sense that they ignore the broader consequences of their 'solutions'.
		The Cornucopian starts to break down the problem to smaller problems which he can handle, and the Doomer starts to enlarge the problem to a scale which he thinks is appropriate.

		This cornucopian or inexhaustible view of water, particularly as it relates to the shallow aquifer, is one of the greatest threats facing the Pinelands.
		The cornucopian view is a threat because of the inextricable connection between groundwater and nearby streams, rivers and wetlands.
		The cornucopian view of water was clearly displayed in the Crestwood Village case, which provides an instructive example of the broader problem.

	M of A - Oily Thread IV
		The Cornucopian Cult comes in many forms, but since the Enlightenment it has mostly come in the guise of technophilia and industrial optimism, a very C18 and C19 belief that an infinitude of wealth can be extracted (forcibly, if need by) from the physical world, or "created" by human ingenuity and technology.
		So there is also a Cornucopianism of the Old Left, and I would say there is a Cornucopianism of the New Leftish tendency as well, the Hydrogen Energy Cult (Rifkin as primary popular cheerleader), the Lovins thinktank might qualify.
		The dominant rightwing Cornucopianism is imho a fossil philosophy, rooted in the naive vision of earlier centuries, when a smaller population and deep ignorance made planetary resource appear (for all intents and purposes) infinite.

		As such, it has brought many of the Simon disciples gleefully out of the woodwork to needle the environmental community.
		Simon was a University of Maryland economist who generated controversy with his Cornucopian view of environmental conditions.
		No matter how misleading and/or deeply in scientific disrepute, Simon's "all's right with the world" outlook served as a messianic rallying cry for critics of the national environmental movement in the 1980s' and 90s'.

		This is the pure utilitarian or rather 'cornucopian' concept of nature.
		Neoclassical economics, which emerged in the late 19th century, treated the use of nature as part of the allocation of scarce resources and paid no special attention to nature as a public good.
